This brings back very fond memories of high school. I think we have about 4 of these for a school of several hundred students. We would make a booking and stay back after school to write our programs in BASIC and assembly. Thank you to the

If you pause it at 0:54 it clearly made a mistake. The foot of the left person is outside the green box, the car thought the person was further forward and to the left of where they really were. Good progress but not ready for prime time.

This is an interesting comment! I tried to have a balance of questions over these 6 areas: * Biology * Economy * Environment * Politics * Science & Technology * Society I also tried to have a balance between questions that you would thi

The good news is that the Pi question is up near the top of the list at 87%. After an hour on HN there are 44k responses in so far. Here is a summary sorted the percentage that agree/answered "yes". 23% Is gold valuable to th

Some feedback on the performance would be helpful. The server is in Singapore, so perhaps if put it behind cloudflare to speed up the images download for Europe and US? I wasn't really expecting this level of interest to be honest.

Good suggestions. My CSS skills are a bit impoverished so I tried to keep it simple to start. It's amazing how many people stick it out and answer all 60 questions. I hope my server can keep up....

It starts at a random question ( so all the answers are evenly distributed) and it just loops around to the start. I do plan to add an 'end' page with a summary at a later stage. I hadn't used Pixabay before but it was perfec

I made this in Go & postgreSQL as a learning exercise. There are 60 questions and I haven't developed the 'end' yet, it just goes back to the start. So if you see the questions repeating, it's time to stop. If you ho

This brings back memories. The original hot or not seems to have disappeared and been replaced with a dating site. Too bad - I would love to see the photos of myself I uploaded so many years ago...

Australia is such an unwelcoming country it's embarrassing. I suspect it's island mentality. At the airport we treat all arriving passengers as criminals - guilty of some terrible crime until cleared with a fully cavity search. To

I still have an excel sheet that I wrote to perform mortgage calculations. The timestamp on the file is 10 March 1994. The latest version of excel can still open it and it works. Although it exists, it's not in use. I suspect all the s

This is a good summary of what happened. He struggled technically as a developer (aptitude?), but was awesome with our customers - very well liked. It wasn't hard to find a role more suited to his talents.

I had a young dev in my team many years ago. We agreed it wasn't working out, so I helped find him a totally different type of role in another part of the same company. It worked out great. I have no idea why this doesn't happen m

Lots of fun, but it tends to drive on the right hand side of the road. Looks very weird on Australian roads.
